Eden Hazard thinks Antonio Conte’s playing past can help current Chelsea players
Eden Hazard scored his second Premier League goal of the season on Saturday with a wonderful solo effort as he broke through the Burnley defence.
“We thought we were going to have more of the ball but we just didn’t use it well, it looked like the one where you nearly get too much time – players want it to be fast, so they can play through situations, but it nearly looked like there was too much thinking time, and that gave us the wrong decisions”. We are improving also in this aspect.
Hazard got the ball rolling when he collected Nemanja Matic’s pass inside his own half and galloped unchallenged down the left towards the Burnley penalty area.
Eden Hazard scored the first in a fine 3-0 win over Burnley.
The Belgium worldwide was also involved as Willian’s strike doubled the advantage before Victor Moses added a late third from fellow substitute Pedro Rodriguez’s cross. But I m pleased with his commitment and work-rate – and the same goes for all the players.
The win maintained Chelsea’s 100 per cent start to the season and put them top of the Premier League ahead of Manchester United and Manchester City’s fixtures. I hope, through this transfer market, to improve the squad but we understand our targets are very hard to reach. “But we must think to work, to improve every day”. But for all the players, the attitude is good.
Sanchez doubled the advantage in the 40th minute, converting Theo Walcott’s enticing cross before Mesut Ozil added a third in stoppage time at the end of a comfortable first half.
“I’m pleased with the performance, with the win and the game because I think we played good football with good possession and created a lot of chances to score goals”.
“They were far better than us”.
“To increase the confidence of the players in you”.
One player who does look on his way to Burnley is Chelsea reserve striker Patrick Bamford, who has been lined up for a season-long loan.
